My GGGrandfather migrated from NC or SC through the Ala. Frontier onto Miss and eventually Mo. He was reportedly born in 1804 but another reliable source says 1812. His name was William Sellars. But, According to my father his real name was James William Sellars. I am intriqued with your posting of a James W. Sellars from the 1830 federal census. He isn't in Brunswick later on either. He was supposed to have six brothers. Some of their the names were Samuel, John, Thomas, David. I see some of those names listed too. Could you please look at the census and try to determine who James W. Sellars lived closest to or with in the 1830 census. Much obliged, Dave in Hilo
